Method
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
- Parboil the green tea soba noodles for 2 minutes in a pan on a medium heat, then drain and set aside.
- In a separate bowl mix 400ml filtered water and 1/2 teaspoon BLOOM Matcha and bath the noodles in the Matcha ‘bath’ for 15 minutes.
- While the noodles soak in the Matcha bath, prepare your courgette noodles using either using a julienne tool or a spiralizer. Cut them into approximately 1/4 inch x 1 1/2 inch matchsticks pieces if you don’t have a julienne tool.
- Once noodles have soaked, drain well, return to the pot they cooked in, add courgette noodles, coriander, edamame beans and about 3/4 of the sauce and toss well. Top with the remaining sauce, plus a sprinkling of sesame seeds, freshly chopped chilli rings and salt and pepper to taste. Add as much lime juice as you like – this gives the dish an added ‘zing’!
